DA/JZ Press Conference

[TheStormofWar]

Dont think Rubio would have changed much.

Donovan changed and became a diva, it was going to happen regardless.

I was just thinking about how much fun that team was. No expectations, a ton of fire, loads of chips on shoulders. A band of brothers going through hell.

Ricky was, in many ways, the ideal PG for the Jazz. Smart with the ball, good decisions and defense. Just his shot was never consistently hot. Had he had that, we just needed a reliable stretch 4/5 to space open for Ricky, Don, and Rudy to work.

Ah well, woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Houston and OKC didn’t have near as many good players to start with as we do. OKC has Shai but they are blatantly tanking by having him sit on the bench, etc. They drafted Giddey who is great but he wasn’t a difference maker year 1. Now Chet is out for the rest of the year. Houston had no talent besides Wood who they just traded for a 1st. They drafted Green and Jabari. We are starting with good players.

If Ricky ever developed a reliable 3 point shot...

It really is. Chemistry more than talent. Still why we should have kept Rudy and tried to build around him

Utah has the ammo to swing trades very quickly, but I think two to three years is reasonable before Utah starts getting back into the swing with some sustainable success.

Agreed. Danny is in full sales mod with this spinning on this.

What was the point of this press conference? They just get everyone together to talk last year and short-term future plans? Sounds like a message to trade partners that Utah won’t pull the trigger unless they really like the deal.

Just a State of The Union kind of thing. Training camp is about to start, a lot of the Jazz players are currently in town practicing together.

Do you guys understand how rare a 1-2 year rebuild is? The Jazz are starting from 0.

Lol the jazz have done this twice for sure maybe three times. Lol

So, what the hell happened between having the best record to only being a 6th seed? You don’t get the best record by having a dysfunctional roster.

Danny is in the zero effs given stage of his career. Some of the comments are pretty funny because of how honest they are.

We’re going to learn the hard way how unique Rudy Gobert was. Hayward and Mitchell don’t grow on trees either….it may seem that way but we were spoiled.

Also….the Jazz quick rebuilds were not remotely close to this situation.

Danny made some honest comments but also was spinning a lot as was JZ.

Actually, that's the kind of effect you can get from playing as a team to playing as a bunch of individuals.

 

[SteakNEggs]

I remember this teams chemistry used to be amazing. Donovan always with the water bottle and even on the benches they liked each other.

Last year it just seemed like they hated being around each other. It all stems from Donovan and Rudy being immature imo.

What was being spun?
